Why does everyone look like they've given up sleeping for the winter? Nothing personal to everyone around me (I mean, I'm no Cover Girl myself in the darkest days of winter), but come on! Just because you're eternally freezing your bum off while work is out of control and your immune system is on strike, doesn't mean you need to let dark circles basically broadcast your woes to the world.

So what do you do? Well, reach for an eye mask for starters. These trendy new things will perk up your lids and deflate your bags faster than you can uncork a bottle of wine after a rough day. Fake it till you make it, right?

Glamglow Bright Mud Eye Treatment definitely gets my vote for the works-better-than-12-hours-of-sleep award. Not only does this stuff have that same pepperminty tingle as the Glamglow face masks (just not as intense, atch), it's got caffeine from six different sources to boost circulation and depuff bags. Plus, it pumps up collagen to iron out fine lines. You'll look a little bit like The Hulk if he cried for two hours while you rock it, but wipe it's totally worth the unglamorous moment.

If you like the idea of an eye mask, but can't justify the splurge, seriously consider the L'Occitaine Eye Care & Mask Duo Brightening Correction, which is a daily eye cream and a mask. Just use the cool metal tip to smooth the cream from the inner corners to the outer corners of your eyes. Then, once a week do the same thing with a thicker layer of gel, let it sit for ten minutes and then wipe it away. Your eyes will look brighter thanks to daisy extract and our depuffing BFF, caffeine.

Though, no matter what any one says, the best way to brighten eyes is to catch up on sleep (with your bed lifted, of course), so why not make that snoozing work harder for you? The Biobliss Micro-Current Anti-Wrinkle Patch for Eyes are super comfortable patches that you can wear for 12 hours at a time (and must wear a minimum of 30 minutes, btw). Tons of antioxidants fight off aging, while a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid plumps up fine lines. They're a little pricy for everyday at $128 per box, but totally worth it when you really need to look rested.
